If we told you that MIKE has just released his tenth album and is an old soul at heart, then you’d be surprised to know he’s also only 26 years old. The prolific New York rapper, producer, and DJ recorded the new album, Showbiz!, between tours: measured and introspective, it takes in soul, jazz, and sixties girl groups as well as rap and hip-hop, his verses wise beyond his years, with lines like: “While you have it, you should cherish that / You won’t get it back”.
